The tall trigger sticks are very handy and work quite well as a walking stick when not in use as tripod for scopes, cameras, binoculars or the intended shooting rest purpose. The shorter version are not nearly as useful.
I modified mine with some tape to make them a little quieter and they worked great in steep terrain with lots of walking, I lost my footing much less than I can remember in previous hunts.
They make a good rest for rangefinder or binoculars too.
